After 3 years going to my GP for severe hip pain, going to physio and massage with little relief (and been on a nearly one-year waiting list for a hip replacement) I went to Dr Pagdin 6 weeks ago for PRP hip injection. There were good days and bad day for a couple weeks but now I feel 70-90% better. My neighbour who has witnessed my pain over the years came over today and I burst into jumping jacks to show him the improvement. THANKS Dr Pagdin!

Hello Doctor. I had PRP into my glutes tendons. it is the number nine after the procedure and I feel like pain is increasing every day is this normal?

@pagdinhealth

Yes, immediately after the injections it can be quite sore because we are sticking fluid into an area that is already “angry” causing the tissues to stretch a bit. Once the platelets start to go to work, the pain should settle, but usually still fairly sore for 2-3 weeks. Maximum benefit takes about 4-6 weeks in my experience, so be patient!

Hey Good morning, Hope all is well, I got prp to the scalp yesterday around 6pm and went to work the next day and sweat a little around the areas where I got the prp injected. My only concern is that because that happen will this make the prp less effective?

Hello doctor, I just had PRP for my l4 l5 disc bulge 3 weeks ago and my pain has gone like 60 percent but i feel tingling if i sit for long. After how long can I go for physio? And I would like to know if this back pain will be for lifetime and I'm 23 now.

@pagdinhealth

PRP can certainly heal your disc, provided it is concentrated enough: remember, not all PRP is created equal, and the disk is a very small space so the actual dose of platelets delivered is very important. For a disc, the PRP should be 10 to 15 times baseline. If you injection was three weeks ago, you should start physiotherapy now.

I partially tore the medial part of my plantar fascia in November. Didn't know it at the Tim, kept walking on it and finally went in for an MRI in March, 4 months later. I did prp and partial weight bearing a few weeks. My doctor never seen a tear before, but it's been 4 weeks now. Should I transition to a shoe now? my foot feels like jello when I tried to walk. how many prp would you recommend for this injury?

For an injury like that, you may need 2-3 treatments of PRP at 4-week intervals. Work closely with a physiotherapist until you have full recovery

Gentle range of motion is good, even if sore. I don’t recommend ice because it slows down the platelets. Heat would be OK. Be patient, as it takes a while before you start feeling better!

Hello, I am after my 2nd PRP to the knee. I am a fitness guy, and doctor told me that after 3 days, i can exercise anything except legs. I have some pain after i did stretching including being on the knees, does it mean, healing process of the first 2 injections is lost, or It my knee is just irritated ? ... I am guessing if I can go to the gym and do the exercices while sitting or should I stop gym at all for whole healing process. Gym is very important to me, but dont want to destroy the healing process ... What do you recommend ?

yes, we often combine an exosome called A2M, which is quite prevalent in the plasma of the patient, which we would otherwise be discarding.
